**** 4 stars
If you are a word freak like me, you are going to love this book. Euphemania explains where we get common turns of phrase like “pushing up daisies” and other obscure references. The book is very entertaining and gives insight to historical references. I really enjoyed reading this one and it would make the perfect gift for that closet wordy in your life.
